Purpose - This study investigates the effects of foreign investor ownership on firm innovation and the different stages of the firm innovation process for business group affiliation (affiliated firms) and nonaffiliated firms. Design/methodology - Research and development (R&D) intensity is used as a proxy for firm innovation. We use a sample of 7,655 firm-year observations of Korean listed firms from 2001 to 2015. To identify the distinct features of business group affiliation and how foreign investor ownership affects firm innovation, we divide the sample into affiliated and non-affiliated firms. Moreover, we classify total R&D expenditures as research and development expenditures. Findings - This study finds a positive relationship between foreign investor ownership and innovation in non-affiliated firms. However, the foreign investor ownership's role in facilitating firm innovation does not influence business group affiliation. Moreover, the results show that foreign investor ownership encourages firms to increase research expenditures, which is the amount spent in the early stages of a firm's R&D process. Originality/value - Existing studies have overlooked the distinct features of business group affiliation and the different characteristics of research and development expenditures. Thus, this study considers the distinct features of business group affiliation and investigates how foreign investor ownership affects different stages of R&D activities.

There is increasing awareness in the international alliance literature that the firm performance effects of the alliance portfolio go beyond the effects of the individual alliances. I enrich this nascent perspective by developing a alliance portfolio composition framework based on the alliance portfolio dimensions - underpinned by the simultaneity of quantitative and qualitative factors in international portfolio - that enhances firms' financial performance. This paper assesses the impact on firm performance of composing the alliance dimension within a firm's international alliance portfolio. In an unbalanced panel data analysis with fixed effects of the performance of 502 firms operating in the Korean manufacturing industry during 2011-2017, I test whether firm's three dimension of international alliance portfolio affect on firm financial performance. I find that the intensity of international alliance have significantly positive effect on the firm performance. And following the moderating analysis of three portfolio dimension-functional, relational, and attribute, all of each three international alliance portfolio has positive moderating effects on the relationship between the alliance intensity and firm performance. These results indicate that firms should consider and form simultaneous approaches to exploit the international alliance based on the alliance portfolio dimensions with intensity of alliance portfolio.

Information system (IS) security continues to present a challenge for firms. Especially, IT security accident is recently taking place successively in the financial sector. Thus, a comprehensive measure on this is demanded. A large part of a research on security relies upon technical design in nature and is restrictive in a consideration of person and organizational issue. To achieve a goal of firm security, it is possible with an effort of organizational management and supervision for maintaining the technical and procedural status. Based on a theory of accountability, we propose that the security countermeasures of organization lead to an increase in accountability and reduction in risk of IT security in a financial firm and further to firm performance like promotion in firm reliability. In addition, we investigate which difference a theoretical model shows by comparison between South Korean and American financial firms. As a result of analysis, it found that South Korea and America have significant difference, but that a measure on the financing IT security is important for both countries. We aim to enhance interpretability of a research on security by comparatively analysis between countries and conducting a study focus on specific firm called financial business. Our study suggest new theoretical framework to a research of security and provide guideline on design of security to financial firm.

The Purpose of this study is to analyze the financial statements of ocean-going shipping companies that have experienced financial difficulties since the global financial crisis. Specifically, the study conducts comparing major firm with small and medium-sized firm from fianancial point of view, analyzes the different trends of two groups. As a result, this paper finds the different characteristics between two groups. There were known many financial difficulties in ocean-going shipping companies, but this is not applied to small and medium-sized firm group. Small and medium-sized firm group grew soundly and slowly during research period. But major firm group experienced the deficit and their management condition has deteriorated considerably during that period. To cope with this difficulties, major firm group should take self-effort to improve fianacial structure and establish the risk management system.

Literatures on open innovation have two major limitations. First, either on a firm level or on an industry level did they analyze the open innovation issues. The results of a firm's innovation can be diffused through the whole network and the firm can learn back from the network knowledge. Prior literatures did not consider the feedback loop among firms and network in which the firms are involved. Second, most open innovation research had a static perspective on firm's innovation performance. Since the diffusion, spill-over and learning among network members are involved over time, the open innovation is intrinsically dynamic. From the dynamic perspective, we can appreciate the fundamental attributes of the open innovation network which involves diverse firms, research institutes, and universities. In order to overcome the limitations, we suggest a dynamic model for open innovation network. We build an agent-based model which consists of heterogeneous firms. The firms are connected through a scale-free network which is formed by preferential attachment. Through the diverse scenario of simulation, we collect massive data on the firm level and analyze them both on firm and industry level. From the analysis, we found that, on industry level, the overall performance of open innovation increases as the internal research capability, absorptive capacity, and learning curve coefficient increase. Noticeably, as the deprecation rate of knowledge increases, the variability of knowledge increases. From the firm level analysis, we found that the industry-level variables had a significant effect on the firm's innovation performance lasting through all the time, whereas the firm-level variables had only on the early phase of innovation.

본 논문에서는 2008년부터 2014년까지 거래소에 상장된 물류기업을 대상으로 물류기업의 지배구조가 기업가치에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 실증분석 한다. 한국의 대규모 기업집단들은 외국과 달리 독특하게 물류서비스를 전문적으로 제공하는 물류기업을 자회사로 두고 있다. 더욱이 이들 집단 내 출자형태에 있어서도 피라미드 구조 및 상호출자구조로 되어 있어 대주주의 직접적인 지배를 받을 뿐만 아니라 간접적으로도 통제를 받는 것이 특징이다. 가족기업 내의 물류기업의 경우에도 계열사들이 생산한 제품의 물류를 담당하여 기업집단 내 거래에 활용함으로써 물류기업은 대주주가 지배하고 있는 기업집단의 이익을 증가시키는 효과가 존재한다. 이러한 독특한 구조를 가진 한국기업집단 내 물류기업의 소유지배구조가 기업가치에 어떻게 영향을 주고 있는지 실증분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 내부자 지분율 및 외국인 투자자 지분율이 기업가치에 정의 유의적인 영향을 준다는 결과를 발견하였다. 이러한 결과는 물류기업 영업활동이 대규모 기업집단 내 계열사의 운송관련 서비스를 제공함으로써 물류 기업의 소유지배구조가 기업가치에 긍정적인 영향을 미치고 있음을 의미한다. 이상의 연구결과는 물류산업이라는 특정산업을 대상으로 지배구조와 기업가치의 관계를 연구함으로써 기존의 지배구조 연구의 폭을 넓힐 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 2006~2014년 통계청의 기업활동조사 자료를 이용하여 우리나라 제조업 기업의 수출중단 결정요인을 실증적으로 분석하였다. 이를 위해 생존분석 기법인 Complementary Log-Log 모형을 통해 우리나라 제조업 수출기업의 수출중단 가능성에 기업 및 산업 특성과 거시경제 변수들이 미치는 영향을 추정하였다. 분석결과, 기업 특성인 고용규모, 자본집약도, 무형자산 소유여부, 외국인 소유여부와 산업 특성인 신규기업의 고용대체율 등이 수출중단 가능성에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 거시변수 중 세계수요 증가, 국내수요 감소가 수출기업의 수출중단 가능성을 유의하게 감소시키는 반면, 환율의 영향은 유의하지 않은 것으로 추정되었다. 또한, 시장금리가 상승하면 금융시장 자금조달여건이 불리해짐에 따라 수출기업의 수출중단 가능성이 커지며, 부채비율이 높은 기업이 이러한 금융여건의 영향을 더욱 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 수출 주력산업인 경우 생산성이 높을수록 수출기업의 수출 중단 가능성이 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 기업 및 산업 특성과 거시 실물 변수 및 금융여건이 수출중단에 복합적으로 영향을 미치고 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 수출 주력산업 내 기업들의 생산성 제고와 기업의 재무건전성 향상이 수출기업들의 수출중단 가능성을 감소시키는 방향으로 작용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

Success in new product development is vital to most industrial firms. In recent decades, a firm's new product strategy is incresinglyrecognized as an essential component of the total corporate plan in developing countries. In this research, 81 Korean manufacturing firms are examined to identify the relationships between a firm's product innovation stratege and the performance results with special emphasis on firm size in a developing country. First, a total of 8 strategy dimensions were identified, which constitute the specific elements of firm's innovation strategies. Two independent dimensions of performance were also identified and were found to be closely linked to the strategy adopted. Then, a categorization scheme is developed to distinguish firms according to their size, and proves useful in performance results might be altered for different company size. The findings generally suggest that a well-balanced new product program emphasizing both marketing and technological effort appropriately is needed to make the program successful. The different size of the company is found to call for somewhat different strategy dimensions to enhance the performance results.
